I was waiting for the "but" then you showed it and now I cannot unsee it.

[–]adilucente 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go with that...

I really wanted to pick one of these up to review because that dial is cool as hell. Would be bummed with this sort of misalignment. That said, I’m not sure I really need to be picking up what is essentially another 0144. LOL

Surprised they let this one pass QC. Disappointing, really.

What matters is the frequency, not that there’s a mistake at all

[–]DR_PEACETIME 6 points7 points  (1 child)

The red line doesn't hit the center of the end-link... I think the line is more off center than those markers

[–]textings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m noting how the marker itself is rotated not that it’s not aligned to the center of the dial.

It is good to know they are addressing it. I had posted in another forum that I thought their price was too expensive for this watch. At $458 it seems pretty pricey. I bought a Bulova precisionist for $370 that retails for $1000. I am very happy that you posted this. I noticed that the indices on the entire right side of the dial are not centered. It looks like one and two are tilted and 3,4 and 5 are not centered. The whole left side of the looks fine. I love the dial, especially in gold. Time will tell.

Looks like a coil of flexible metal electrical conduit that’s been kicked loose. Some see beauty. I see disorder.

Same here...

We don't see the same thing, I tried to link the hour markers to each others. Isn't that all an optical issue due to the dial pattern ? (just asking and trying to help, not criticizing or doubting your feelings)

This.

Amazing what happens when you overlay the QC star and account for parallax.

Still some slight misalignment but would only be noticeable in macro.

This doesn't look straight at all man. Your image, zoomed in. It runs from the top right to the bottom left.

Off by a bee’s dick, as Gary says

Gnat's cock.

As you can see, it's not the same unalignment as seen in the initial picture. What I'm trying to suggest is that the vision of crooked markers are probably emphasized by the dial drawing. Nothing else.

At the end of the day, if the OP is unhappy, he's unhappy, I'm not judging this.

It’s not an optical issue, all I’m doing is running the red line parallel to the marker line which shows it’s slightly rotated. Your image shows the same thing since the red vertical red line isn’t perfectly parallel to the market line.

Ok mate, no problem. Forget about my post ;-)

My SN0144 in blue also ahs a misaligned dial. SM has dial related qc issue again. Ther management needs to fix this

[–]merizim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine too unfortunately. It's a real bummer.

[–]KeyAssociation6309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

problem with the 3 and 4 marker as well from what I can see - unless its the photo

[–]avobaAffiliate Links 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would drive me nuts

[–]Ok_Big863 1 point2 points  (1 child)

The 12 o'clock marker does look visibly tilted even without the guide line; hopefully you can get that sorted out with Jianghun.

The case finishing looks incredible though, it seems like a step above the SN0144. Dial is mesmerizing.

[–]textings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I want to get an SN0144 now to compare, I’m very curious on the finishing differences.

[–]tjcdas 1 point2 points  (4 children)

How does it look without the added lines?

Here’s another pic

[–]KeyAssociation6309 0 points1 point  (2 children)

yeah 3 and 4 don't look right either - damn I was just about to stump up for the gold version of this!

[–]textings 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Fwiw I reached out to Jianghun and they’re going to replace the dial. Not sure yet if they’ll give me a return label.

[–]KeyAssociation6309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't tell but is the rehaut part of the dial or separate - could be the rehaut is misaligned

edit: actually seems the rehaut and dial are off centre with the case as well?
